While visiting my mother-in-law, Jean, recently she gifted me with some sleeping beauty turquoise jewelry. The color of the stone was captivating to me. I also love the name of it which is based on the name of the mine in Globe, Arizona where the rare color of turquoise is mined, Sleeping Beauty Mine.

Julie at Island Wools dyed this merino silk blend for me and I think the color, Cerulean Blue, is perfect. Her line of hand painted yarns, Whimsical Colors, is dyed at the shop in Friday Harbor, WA. I find her colors delicious and hard to resist.
